I get maybe two dozen requests for help with some sort of programming or design problem every day. Most have more sense than to send me hundreds of lines of code. If they do, I ask them to find the smallest example that exhibits the problem and send me that. Mostly, they then find the error themselves. "Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

Oh, I finished college, was hoping that I'd get a decent job in software but no such luck. In my country, the market is saturated (if you don't want to be a code monkey), and unfortunately it took be too long to find out... Programming remains a hobby.

I've been quite into x86 assembly recently, been obsessed with trying to bootstrap an entire OS from absolute scratch, with raw binary, like how the pioneers did it back in the 80s. Long story short, it's a path to madness!...
